I see Rust 1.83 was released today. [1] The major focus seems to be on enabling more things in const context. It'll be interesting to see how this might allow more logic [2] to be shifted from program startup time to compile time.

[2]: This post by @chadaustin has influenced my thinking on performance, and especially program startup time, for years: chadaustin.me/2009/02/logic-vs…

I think mostly the advantage is just that it's super annoying to have weird limitations on what you can do in a const context, rather than it actually being a load-bearing performance thing, usually. Execution at compile time can have significant downsides too, mostly compile time, so I don't expect very much stuff to actually become more tractable to precompute in that way.

BTW, that post by @chadaustin ends:

> And I'm pretty sure I just recommended writing your entire application in C++, which sounds insane, even to me.

I agree about C++. But writing a whole desktop application in Rust is looking more and more tractable. Maybe someday I'll actually ship a non-trivial application that's a stand-alone executable and starts instantly, like I've always dreamed of doing.

@DavidGoldfield I wish there were an AI shortcut for this which I could read and adjust before posting. I find myself getting caught up in incredibly detailed descriptions when I do this and it's very time-consuming. I want to do it justice or not do it at all. I'm aware this is an unsatisfactory answer to your request and I apologize.

As people may have noticed, we've had some issues with GitLab (repository, issues, merge requests, and documentation are all affected), and the admins have decided to move up the migration day to December 4, 2024:

discourse.gnome.org/t/schedule…

Ideally, this should bring us back to a stable environment. Stay tuned for more information next week.


[Scheduled maintenance] GitLab / GitLab pages - 04th of December 2024 at 2 PM UTC

Hello, On Wednesday 04th of December we’ll be performing GitLab / GitLab pages migration to our new platform, hosted in AWS.

I'm hitting many bugs in @Tutanota these days. Typically, just this morning when I opened the Mail Android app, I got "Error message: You forgot to migrate your databases! sys.version should be >= 114 but in db it is 112", and a "404 Not Found" on a calendar event. For this last one, it's probably because I deleted the event from the Tuta Calendar app, but it didn't stop it from displaying a reminder for the deleted event... And the unread email counter is constantly wrong 😫

Bugs and more bugs. Impossible to open the Calendar app after the latest update (v256.241211.0 from F-Droid). I had to log out + delete the app's data, and then log back in. Also, I just edited a weekly event to make it stop at a certain date. The updated event was sent to my guests, but I still see the next occurrences, which means I cannot make it stop... And I got two reminders this morning for a deleted event...

Hi. Yes, I did select "Update all events", and it actually seems to work now. I think there was a long delay. I suspect it's linked to a shared calendar I recently imported via the new "From URL" import feature. Typically, yesterday, I opened the Calendar app and added a new event. After clicking on "Save", I couldn't see the new event in question. I thought it didn't work, but it appeared like 30 seconds later, after the top loading bar reached the end.

Regarding the impossibility to open the Calendar app, I couldn't send a crash report as it happened before being logged in, and I didn't copy the stack trace. And for the two reminders of a deleted event, I logged out from all my accounts from both the Email and Calendar apps, deleted the apps' data, and logged back in. Let's see if it happens again.

Happy Christmas!

Just to let you know that I got 2 reminders this morning for the deleted event I've already mentioned. Deleting the Calendar app's data and logging back in didn't fix the issue.

I sometimes get a 404 error for a calendar-related URL. A PUT request if I remember well. It's maybe linked to the same issue. I'll try to pay attention to the event ID in the URL, to see if it's always about the same event, and let you know.

I’m slowing starting to think about what a 10 year anniversary update to my "The State of Mobile XMPP in 2016"¹ would look like.

It’s interesting what parts of the article are still relevant today (mostly how push works and how that impacts battery drain) while other parts are seemingly irrelevant. Yes, #XMPP works on mobile phones. Obviously. That’s how the overwhelming majority (⅔) of users uses XMPP².

So this third party Windows Bluesky app is making a good start in terms of accessibility. JAWS reads it well. There are buttons in the tab order to switch between Home, notifications, maybe other timelines when available. Posts are read as you arrow through the list. The main thing this seems to lack so far is keyboard shortcuts, but if the author is receptive, it would be an easy fix: #a11y #beeskie windowscentral.com/software-ap…

New blog post: “Short Lines, Bad Breaks, and CSS”

In today’s CSSWG meeting, there was one issue about the new value of `text-wrap-style` property — `avoid-orphans`.

There was agreement in the meeting that we should look for a better name, and open a separate issue about this, which I did, as well as opened another one — about the `orphans` and `widows` properties.

Listening to the led-brained consultants who lost the 2024 election is making my blood boil.

crooked.com/podcast/exclusive-…

If you are interested in what went wrong with the Kamala Harris campaign, this interview tells you all you need to know. Incredibly revealing.

While patting themselves on the back for the strategic decision to take a stand on nothing, they blame young voters for being “hard to reach,” voters in the battleground states for being “hard to win,” Democratic voters for “eating their own,” independent voters, the media, the passage of time, men, the internet–but never themselves or their candidate for losing the popular vote to a 34-times convicted felon.

In a just world, none of these fools would ever work in DC again, but they’ll probably just use their increased notoriety to get paid even more to ruin the next one.

De #neodome is een ontwerp van Koen (links). Kris van @MakerspaceBaasrode (rechts) hielp onder andere met het 3D model en hardware aankoop. De enkele honderd meters aan PVC elektriciteitsbuizen werden gesponsord door ATS. Ik hielp met de wifi setup en de documentatie op github.com/Makerspace-baasrode… (work in progress).

De eerste installatie van de #neodome deden we tijdens @fri3d in augustus 2024 naast de tent van @MakerspaceBaasrode. Toen hadden we nog problemen met de LED aansturing, bleek een firmware bug in #WLED te zijn die we voorlopig vermijden door een oudere versie te installeren.
